[sdiy] A uC question and a circuit for those who need it.

[Tim Ressel]

Yo Batz,

This is a tough one, as a wrong decision can cost time
and money. There's no feeling like discovering you've
gone down the wrong path. If you're programming in C,
then the risk is mitigated by the relative ease of
moving your code to a different platform. 

Personally I'd go with AVR and the GCC compiler. I've
been using the duo for a year now and have had few
problems. I'd also recommend a jtag ICE for debugging.
It is a cash outlay, but it deftly alleves the "I'm an
outsider" feeling when wondering why the code don't
work. 

Soon I hope to break into ARM land by getting a dev
board and a copy of the Imagecraft compiler. AVRs are
neat, but I miss my 32-bit processors.
